Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer .
5
Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen .
8
Go not forth hastily to strive , lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame .
